EDM Council and Fiùtur Partner to Drive Data Innovation in Sustainability

EDM Council, a cross-industry trade association to advance data management and analytics best practices, is collaborating with Fiùtur, a leading digital trust network for the energy transition economy, to launch a strategic initiative to deliver open, trusted standards to drive information transparency, facilitate capital allocation and reduce risk in the rapidly evolving transition economy.  

The current data landscape for energy transition assets suffers from fragmentation, incompleteness, and incompatibility. To bridge this gap, the EDM Council’s Data Innovation Lab and Fiùtur are joining forces to establish an industry working group to develop a foundational set of sustainability identifiers. This collaboration will leverage open-source technology and ontology-based knowledge graphs to ensure seamless interoperability at the asset level, initially focusing on key use cases such as the hydrogen supply chain but ultimately designed to holistically encompass the energy transition landscape.

The new standards and governance framework will enable participants in the transition economy to standardize outcomes and processes to increase the value of producing assets’ claims, while allowing capital providers to make informed decisions on transition investments. 

“Trillions of dollars of finance are needed to respond to global demand for sustainable products,” says Joe Madden, CEO of Fiùtur. “At the core of efficient transition capital allocations are new risk evaluation and governance rules for producing-asset level data and verifiable transition attributes. Fiùtur is proud to partner with EDM Council to address this challenge and build strong foundations for the required Trust Infrastructure.”

The platform supporting EDM Council’s Data Innovation Lab Program has successfully driven prior open industry knowledge graph standards efforts in industries including finance (FIBO), pharmaceuticals (IDMP), automotive (AUTO) and digital manufacturing (NIST). Fiùtur’s platform and ecosystem enable real-world outcomes to flow through to the financial markets through partnerships with innovative technology providers such as Nammu21. 

“Accurate, complete and connected data is critical to driving energy transition and advancing sustainability,” said John Bottega, President, EDM Council. “The EDM Council is excited to partner with Fiùtur to develop a framework of standard identifiers that will allow stakeholders to have a clear, consistent understanding of the value of assets to invest in and support the transition.”

EDM Council and Fiùtur are calling on their respective communities to actively participate. For further information please contact info@edmcouncil.org at EDM Council and info@fiuturx.com at Fiùtur.

Eyes on Data: Transforming Data Challenges into Real Progress

By John Bottega, President, EDM Council
Published on TDAN.com

In a world increasingly dominated by data, organizations are grappling with the need to effectively manage and harness this valuable asset. And with increased regulations and compliance, opportunities for innovation and AI, digital transformation initiatives, and data-driven decision-making, the demands for accurate, accessible, protected data are increasing exponentially. At the same time, the data management profession lacks a standards-based measurement and formal recognition for data management excellence.

Recognizing these challenges, the EDM Council has partnered with its member firms — cross-industry and around the world — to develop and launch the groundbreaking Data Excellence Program. This visionary initiative is designed to set a new standard for measuring and acknowledging data management excellence globally, providing a roadmap for organizations committed to continuous improvement in the dynamic function of data management and advanced analytics….
